Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a blender for producing ice-cream and similar.
  • blenders used for making home-made ice-cream normally comprise a cylindrical, horizontal-axis bowl into which the ingredients for producing a given quantity of ice-cream are poured; a hatch hinged to the outer casing of the blender to rotate about a vertical axis into a closed position closing the inlet of the bowl; an internal cooling unit for cooling and maintaining the bowl and contents at a temperature ranging between -10°C and -35°C; and a mixing member mounted for rotation inside the bowl to blend the ingredients at the various ice-cream-making stages.
  • the hatch in turn substantially comprises a porthole-like cover designed to close the bowl inlet in fluidtight manner, and hinged to the outer casing of the blender, alongside the bowl inlet, to rotate about a vertical axis to and from an operating position closing the bowl inlet.
  • the body of the cover has a central through opening, through which the ice-cream ingredients can be fed into the bowl while the mixing member is rotating inside the bowl; and a peripheral through opening, located close to the bottom peripheral edge of the cover, through which to expel the ice-cream at the end of the blending process.
  • the bowl hatch also comprises an ingredient hopper projecting from the cover to feed the ice-cream ingredients through the central through opening; and a safety grille located at the ingredient hopper inlet.
  • the safety grille is obviously fixed to the cover so that it can be removed easily for fast cleaning of the hopper at the end of each operating cycle.
  • the bowl hatch normally also has a sealing device designed to seal the peripheral through opening in the main body of the cover in fluidtight manner, and to only allow the ice-cream to be expelled at the end of the blending process.
  • blenders of the type described above are also equipped with a number of sensors for detecting when the cover is positioned closing the bowl inlet, and when the safety grille is positioned at the ingredient hopper inlet, and for preventing rotation of the mixing member inside the bowl in the event either one of the above components is not in the safe operating position.
  • a blender for producing ice-cream and similar as claimed in Claim 1 and preferably, through not necessarily, in any one of the dependent Claims.
  • number 1 indicates as a whole a blender for producing home-made ice-cream and similar, and which substantially comprises a box-shaped, preferably, though not necessarily, parallelepiped-shaped outer casing 2; and a substantially cylindrical tubular bowl 3 extending from the surface of, and inwards of, box-shaped casing 2, and coaxially with a preferably, though not necessarily, horizontal axis A, so that the inlet of bowl 3 is defined by a substantially circular opening formed in a portion of box-shaped casing 2.
  • Bowl 3 is designed to receive the various ingredients for producing the desired amount of ice-cream.
  • Blender 1 also comprises a hatch 4 designed to close the inlet of bowl 3, and which is fitted movably to box-shaped casing 2 of the blender, so as to be positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3; an internal cooling unit (not shown) for cooling and maintaining bowl 3 and the contents at a temperature ranging between -10°C and - 35°C; and a mixing member (not shown) mounted for rotation about axis A inside bowl 3 to blend the home-made ice-cream ingredients.
  • a hatch 4 designed to close the inlet of bowl 3, and which is fitted movably to box-shaped casing 2 of the blender, so as to be positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3
  • an internal cooling unit (not shown) for cooling and maintaining bowl 3 and the contents at a temperature ranging between -10°C and - 35°C
  • a mixing member (not shown) mounted for rotation about axis A inside bowl 3 to blend the home-made ice-cream ingredients.
  • Hatch 4 comprises a substantially porthole-like cover 5, which is preferably, though not necessarily, made of stainless steel, is designed to close the inlet of bowl 3 in fluidtight manner, and is hinged to box-shaped casing 2 of the blender, alongside the inlet of bowl 3, to rotate, about a preferably, though not necessarily, vertical axis V, between a first operating position ( Figure 1), in which cover 5 seals the inlet of bowl 3, and a second operating position, in which cover 5 is positioned to the side of the inlet of bowl 3 to allow direct access to bowl 3.
  • Cover 5 has a central through opening 5a formed close to the centre of cover 5, so as to be positioned close to the centre of the inlet of bowl 3, i.e.
  • Central through opening 5a allows the ice-cream ingredients to be poured into bowl 3 while the mixing member is rotating about axis A inside the bowl; while peripheral through opening 5b provides for expelling the ice-cream at the end of the blending process.
  • hatch 4 also comprises a hopper 6 projecting from the body of cover 5 and communicating directly with central through opening 5a to feed the ice-cream ingredients through the central through opening; and a safety grille 7 fixed removably to the body of cover 5 and designed to partly occupy the inlet 6a of hopper 6 to prevent insertion of the user's hands inside inlet 6a.
  • cover 5 has a number of parallel, aligned, projecting pins 8 projecting substantially vertically from the main body of cover 5, and safety grille 7 substantially comprises a supporting crosspiece 9 extending astride all the projecting pins 8 and having a number of transverse dead holes 9a engaged firmly, but easily removably, by respective projecting pins 8; and a rigid grille structure 10 projecting from supporting crosspiece 9 to occupy the space bounded by inlet 6a of hopper 6.
  • cover 5 has two parallel, facing, projecting pins 8 projecting vertically from a straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5 adjacent to inlet 6a of hopper 6, so as to be substantially parallel to and face the surface of box-shaped casing 2 surrounding the inlet of bowl 3.
  • Supporting crosspiece 9 is defined by a straight, square-section bar, which rests on said straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5, and has, at each of the two ends, a transverse dead hole 9a extending inside the body of straight bar 9, perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis L of the bar, and sized to receive a corresponding projecting pin 8 of cover 5.
  • hatch 4 preferably, though not necessarily, has a hand-operated sealing device (not shown) designed to seal peripheral through opening 5b in cover 5 in fluidtight manner, and to only allow the ice-cream to be expelled at the end of the blending process; and a plastic or metal auxiliary lid 11 sized to cover the whole of inlet 6a of hopper 6, and hinged to supporting crosspiece 9 to rotate, about an axis of rotation coincident with or at any rate parallel to longitudinal axis L of supporting crosspiece 9, to and from an operating position resting on and completely covering inlet 6a of hopper 6.
  • a hand-operated sealing device (not shown) designed to seal peripheral through opening 5b in cover 5 in fluidtight manner, and to only allow the ice-cream to be expelled at the end of the blending process
  • a plastic or metal auxiliary lid 11 sized to cover the whole of inlet 6a of hopper 6, and hinged to supporting crosspiece 9 to rotate, about an axis of rotation coincident with or at any rate parallel to longitudinal axis
  • lid 11 is defined by a plastic plate, which is sized to cover the whole of inlet 6a of hopper 6, and has a lateral side designed to engage in freely rotating manner the rounded central segment of supporting crosspiece 9, so as to project from and rotate about longitudinal axis L to and from an operating position resting on and completely covering inlet 6a of hopper 6.
  • blender 1 also comprises an electric control device for determining when cover 5 is positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3, and when safety grille 7 is positioned on the body of cover 5, partly covering inlet 6a of hopper 6, or, more specifically, when supporting crosspiece 9 of grille 7 is fitted to projecting pins 8 and rigid grille structure 10 occupies the space bounded by inlet 6a of hopper 6.
  • the electric control device determines when cover 5 is positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3, and when supporting crosspiece 9 is positioned resting on the straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5 adjacent to inlet 6a of hopper 6.
  • the electric control device of blender 1 is obviously connected to the electronic central control unit (not shown) of the blender to prevent rotation of the mixing member inside bowl 3 when cover 5 is not positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3, and when supporting crosspiece 9 is not positioned resting on the straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5 adjacent to inlet 6a of hopper 6, and substantially comprises at least one permanent magnet 13 and a corresponding magnetic presence sensor 14, which are located one on supporting crosspiece 9 of safety grille 7 of hatch 4, and the other on box-shaped casing 2 of the blender, and are only positioned facing each other when supporting crosspiece 9 is fitted to projecting pins 8 to hold rigid grille structure 10 over inlet 6a of hopper 6, and cover 5 is positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3.
  • the electric control device of blender 1 comprises at least one permanent magnet 13 fixed stably to the body of supporting crosspiece 9, adjacent to or at one of the transverse dead holes 9a; and at least one magnetic presence sensor 14 located inside box-shaped casing 2 of the blender so as to be positioned facing permanent magnet 13 when supporting crosspiece 9 is fitted to projecting pins 8 and resting on said straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5, and cover 5 is positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3.
  • supporting crosspiece 9 of safety grille 7 is fitted with two permanent magnets 13 housed in the two ends of supporting crosspiece 9, each inside a respective longitudinal seat formed in the body of supporting crosspiece 9, adjacent to the transverse dead hole 9a for receiving projecting pin 8; and box-shaped casing 2 of the blender is fitted inside with two magnetic presence sensors 14 aligned horizontally directly over the inlet of bowl 3, so as to be aligned with the straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5 and with respective permanent magnets 13 when cover 5 is positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3 and supporting crosspiece 9 is fitted to projecting pins 8 and resting on the straight horizontal peripheral edge portion of cover 5.
  • Permanent magnets 13 and magnetic presence sensors 14 are commonly known in the industry and therefore not described further.
  • blender 1 The advantages of blender 1 are obvious : given the design of hatch 4, only one permanent magnet 13 and one magnetic presence sensor 14 are required to determine when cover 5 is positioned closing the inlet of bowl 3, and grille 7 is fitted to cover 5 to cover inlet 6a of hopper 6, thus reducing manufacturing cost.
